SUMMARY:Mingle at Murchison - Packrafting Association
DESCRIPTION:A PRANZ mini meet weekend of packrafting and mingling with other packrafters\, extend your network and find some paddle buddies. Hopefully we will get some folk from Blenheim\, Nelson and Christchurch… maybe a few from further away\, North Islanders are welcome too.\nCan promise a choice of excellent rivers suitable for all grades of paddlers. Expect a casual weekend with multiple trip options\, we are likely to run a section or two of the Buller and probably the Mid Matakitaki. If there are families that are looking for an easy paddle there are option for that too.\nCamping is at the Riverview Campground or they have little cabins for hire too\, it’s a beautiful spot that has been a favorite with paddlers for many years. Saturday night we will have wine and cheese by the river followed by shared barbecue/potluck.\nFor more info and to register visit the Facebook event page – https://www.facebook.com/events/1000888310464758?active_tab=about
